  • Having the app on my phone has helped me a lot. Just keeping track of stuff I eat has made me less likely to eat that "impulse" food.

  • The Y that I go to has a couple of Adaptive Motion Trainers... they are zero impact but still give a great cardio workout. A half hour burns 400 calories. Maybe your gym has one.

  • Welcome! I've only been doing mfp a week so I'm no expert but what has amazed me this past week is that as long as I keep track of everything I eat and log it, I eat less and I eat healthier. A friend said there are psychological reasons why that is so but all I care about is that it works. Also FG, I think your goals are…
